             ShapeList

A list of 3D shapes to be inserted into a packing by replacing spheres with scaled versions of the specified shape. Shapes may be read from a shape database file and the probability with which a given shape is inserted into a packing may be specified.

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

addGenericShape(...)

Adds a shape from a database file into the list

Parameters:

db (string) - The filename of the database file
name (string) - The name of the shape to be added, as per database file
bias (int) - The bias of the new shape; in other words, how often it will be added
random (int) - Whether the shape should be orientated randomly at each insertion: 0 for not random, 1 for always random
particleTag (int) - the ID of each particle inside each inserted shape
bondTag (int) - the ID of each bond internal to each shape

addHexShape(...)

Adds a hexagonal aggregate to the ShapeList

Parameters:

bias (int) - How often the shape should be added
random (int) - 1 to randomly orientate this shape, 0 to have all constant
